Transcriber's Notes:

The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was eliminated from this transcription as there were no 
deaths on this passage.

The original lister numbered the passengers, but did not provide a recapitulation at the end 
of the document.

An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which further explains 
the entry.

A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the quality of the 
document.  Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's Notes of what the letter/
letters may be.

A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name or word. The original lister 
showed this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line.

No ages are listed for the cabin passengers.

The lister also used the "leading s", which appears at first glance to be an "f" before the letter 
"s" when actually it signifies a double "s".  The transcriber has changed this where found. 


  5  Surname possibilities:  Ramiseiller, Ramisceller.  The "e" before the final "r" is missing.
 21  Surname:  Burb, Burt.
 25  Surname:  Fetis, Fatis.
 75  The occupation is probably incorrectly listed.
